It’s almost like these people aren’t worried about the next election, which should worry all of us.

This is abhorrent. I'm not that old, but I remember a time when the US would never even think about siding with Russia, and there is no excuse for it in this case. edition.cnn.com/2025/02/24/p...

This is just mind-numbingly stupid. Quoting the "Truths" that the president posted? Hegseth's condescending tone is his only defense against how obviously unqualified he is for this position and how out of his depth he ultimately is.

This devastating for medical research and public health. It will be great for large corporations and be terrible for the patients who will rely on this tech to save their lives.

“Delete” the CFPB & IRS. Abolish bank regulators. Gut Social Security and Medicare. The Musk-Trump administration’s plots all boil down to the same thing: swindle working people, funnel money to the ultra-rich.

The Trump White House is working on an executive order to fire thousands of workers from Health and Human Services. Under the order, the FDA, CDC, and other health agencies would have to cut a certain percentage of employees. The order could come as soon as next week. www.wsj.com/health/healt...

Okay, let's keep going. Got another one today looking at just how absolutely fucking crazy it is that an inexperienced Musk-lackey is apparently pushing untested live code to America's checkbook. Tried to contextualize all of it. www.techdirt.com/2025/02/05/a...

“Elon Musk, who isn’t elected, is shutting down entire federal agencies in the middle of the night. He has taken control of the government’s money and usurped Congress. This shreds the Constitution, and is effectively a coup.” That wasn’t so hard after all, was it?

The FDA approved two biotech companies for clinical trials that will transplant organs from genetically modified pigs into people with kidney failure. If successful, these studies could lead to the broader use of cross-species transplantation, a dream of medical scientists for centuries.

It’s insane to me that we’re just… letting non-government personnel rifle through government code. The SysAdmins have to be losing their fucking minds right now.

I'm sorry, but "they took over the whole federal payments system, fired the career staff, and won't let anybody see what they're doing" is not a situation in which you wait for more information. It's a situation in which you assume the worst. There's no explanation for it other than rampant crimes.

Just a tip: go to ssa.gov right now. If you don't have a login, set one up. If you do have one, log in and download your statement. If you're receiving benefits, download the benefit verification letter too.
